Supermarket giant Aldi has been forced to issue an urgent product recall after health officials discovered a potentially dangerous ingredient in their popular Innocent strawberry and apple lollies.
Hidden Dairy Danger in 'Innocent' Treats
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has sounded the alarm after tests revealed the frozen fruit lollies contain milk that isn't mentioned on the packaging. This oversight could have devastating consequences for consumers with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance.
The affected products include:
- Innocent strawberry and apple lollies (3x80ml)
- All batches with best before dates of October 2025
Why This Recall Matters
For the millions of Britons living with milk allergies, consuming these lollies could trigger severe reactions ranging from digestive distress to life-threatening anaphylaxis. The undeclared milk content makes these seemingly healthy treats a hidden danger in family freezers.
What Customers Need to Do Immediately
If you've purchased these lollies:
- Do not consume the product under any circumstances
- Return them to your nearest Aldi store for a full refund
- Check your freezer and ensure family members are aware of the risk
Aldi has expressed regret for any inconvenience caused and emphasised their commitment to customer safety. The supermarket chain is working closely with suppliers to investigate how this labelling error occurred.
The FSA continues to monitor the situation and urges anyone who has experienced adverse reactions to seek immediate medical attention.
